Rebecca Black, Salvation
An intoxicating blend of Y2K aesthetics and bubblegum pop, Black’s second album is a celebration of her musical evolution from internet laughing stock to hyperpop powerhouse.

Hamilton Leithauser, This Side of the Island
The Walkmen vocalist finds an exquisite balance of raspy, lounge-lizard crooning and angsty art-rocking on a solo album full of distressed lyricism and black humor.

Lady Gaga, Mayhem
The pop star’s latest album is chaotic by design, blending elements from across her career to craft something you can dance to, swoon with, and don black eyeshadow for.
Mike LeSuer
